Eyes of Eagles
From the greatest western writers of the 21st century, the first adventure in The Eagles, one of the most iconic and beloved sagas of the American frontier, returns to print for its 30th anniversary!
A man as rugged as the New Frontier and as bold as the untamed West . . .
Orphaned at the age of seven and adopted by the Indians, Jamie Ian MacCallister grew into a man more at ease in the wilderness than among men. But when the westward strike drove him across the Arkansas Territory into Texas, he finally found himself a home-in the middle of a bloody war.
Texans like Jim Bowie and Sam Houston were waging a fierce struggle against Santa Anna's Mexican army, and Jamie MacCallister made the perfect scout for the fledgling volunteer force. What lay ahead of them was a place called the Alamo, thirteen days of blood, dust and courage, and a battle that would become an undying legend of the American West . . .

I read this book years ago and it is still as exciting as my first time to read it. Looking forward to the other Eagle books in this series. If you are a first time reader, enjoy your reading .

This is by no means my first reading of a book about the Alamo but I have never been more deeply touched by any other book about the subject. Yet, there’s so much more to this story that happens before and after that brings even more to the reading of the book. If you are a western novel aficionado you will not want to miss this one.

A recounting of the battle at The Alamo and the personalities that shaped that time in history. The hero, Jamie Maccallister, as the focus of the battle and mentality surrounding the battle for Texas. Good fiction surrounding historical fact.

If you want real Western books, then read the Eagle series by Johnstone. There are FEW writers who can make the West come alive and put you right in the middle of the action like William W. Johnstone. This is one of his very best series .. you'll find all of the books hard to put down; you'll read well into the night because you simply HAVE to know the outcome of the latest situation MacCalister has found himself in. This is a true man's man, a straight shooter that doesn't just wound .. he gets rid of the bad man plague. These are 'don't miss books' ..
